Are you a hub-like leader OR an origin & destination (O&D) leader?

Do people view interactions with you as a disruptive layover OR do they actually want to start and/or end a journey with you?

Are you over-reliant on outside resources to fuel your leadership actions OR do you lead like a self-sufficient, reliable, energy independent microgrid that is always ready to deliver?

To help answer these questions, check out Episode 115 of The Energy Detox, which is inspired by Pittsburgh International Airport's transformation from hub to O&D, its soon-to-arrive new terminal, the development of the Marcellus #NaturalGas resources under PIT by CNX, the differentiated #leadership of Christina Cassotis, and the microgrid operated by Liberty Power Innovations, a Liberty Energy company.

Which Oklahoma City team is more deserving of a White House invite:

🏀 The Thunder for winning the NBA Championship; or

🔥 Expand Energy for drilling a record-setting Marcellus well?

As you ponder that, check out this episode of The Energy Detox for some unconventional recognition tools to help you lead more effectively.

I am NOT…

My team is NOT…

My company is NOT…

My industry is NOT…

Clearly defining who you ARE requires defining who you are NOT.

In this post-conclave episode of The Energy Detox, you'll learn how a theological concept called via negativa can help you sharpen your message, protect your credibility, and shut down false narratives.

Inspired by Energy Transfer’s recent “That’s Gas!” commercial—where a narrator pops up in everyday situations to inform unsuspecting folks that the products they’re using are made with natural gas—Episode 112 of The Energy Detox challenges you to spot everyday examples of leadership and say (to yourself or others), “That’s leadership!”

#ConsciousLeadership

Most meetings? Unremarkable.

Most resumes? Forgettable.

Most leaders? Replaceable.

Most LinkedIn posts? Unbearable.

Agree?

Then check out this Arbor Day episode of The Energy Detox that challenges you to follow the path of differentiated energy leaders who stand out in a forest of mediocre managers by continually asking:

"How can we make this the best ____________ ever?"

Energy is at the core of developed societies.

Feedback is at the core of developed leaders.

Those two core truths converge on Route 50 in Avella, PA, site of Episode 110 of The Energy Detox podcast, which draws on:

1) The 50-50-50 Energy Corps vision announced by EQT’s Toby Rice and Dr. Scott Tinker last month at CERAWeek—50 MWh and $50K GDP per capita within 50 years to lift people out of energy poverty and help them thrive.

2 - The Meadowcroft Rockshelter and Historic Village—a reminder of how people in North America lived, but didn’t necessarily thrive, for most of the last 19,000 years without modern energy.

The result is a 50-50-50 feedback challenge that pushes you—and other energy leaders—to consciously give and request 1 piece of feedback each day for the next 50 days—so that you and your stakeholders don't just survive...but thrive.

What Wild Things Can You Do to Build a Dominant Energy Team?

Find out in Episode 109 of The Energy Detox, which uses local, statewide, national, and global headlines connected to Washington County's #NaturalGas industry to help you answer the following questions:

1 - How can you use the recent renaming of Wild Things Park to EQT Park as an excuse to consider what you want people to think of when they see or hear YOUR name?

2 - On the heels of last year's Cecil Township setback ordinance (and de facto ban on future natural gas development) and tomorrow's presentation of a statewide setback rule (frac ban) to the Environmental Quality Board (EQB) in Harrisburg, what better time than now to ask how often you're unwittingly fueling harmful ideas that might SEEM benign at the surface?

3 - How does last week's visit to Washington County by Doug Burgum, Chair of the National Energy Dominance Council, and the comments he shared alongside leaders of Range Resources, EQT Corporation, Halliburton, and AXPC inspire you to not merely strive to lead a "winning" team, but instead to set your targets on a far more inspiring goal of achieving world-renowned, best-in-class, DOMINANT results?

4 - And speaking of results, how does last month's announced formation of the Energy Corps by Scott Tinker and Toby Rice—who reminded attendees during Sec. Burgum's visit that the development of the world-renowned Marcellus Shale began in Washington County 20 years ago—challenge you to focus on metrics that actually matter ((like lifting every human in the world up to 50 MWh and $50,000 per year in 50 years) and that can lead to some truly wild things (like eradicating energy poverty and saving the lives of 3+ million people who die each year from indoor air pollution) instead of wasting time, #energy, and money chasing fluffy, intangible metrics with minimal impact on your stakeholders?

In what ways are you or your team unwittingly polishing a cannonball?

To help you answer that question, check out Episode 108 of The Energy Detox, recorded outside Pittsburgh's PNC park, home of the Polish Cannonball (a new food item introduced for the 2025 season) and home to a 14-foot bronze statue of Bill Mazeroski, the Polish-American Pirate who launched a cannonball that won the 1960 World Series.

GPS technology relies on Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (PNT) to provide accurate, real-time guidance. Effective networking also depends on PNT principles to steer yourself in the right direction.

That being said, Episode 107 of The Energy Detox podcast will help you answer the following PNT questions:

📍Positioning: How can you boost your visibility—and your awareness—to make sure you’re not missing potential connections right in front of you?

🧭 Navigation: What tools, cues, and excuses can you use to confidently and authentically weave your way through conversations?

⏱️ Timing: What can you do before, during, and after a conversation to ensure steady, efficient flow—without causing bottlenecks or corrosion?

Are you as predictable as a bagpiper who everyone knows is likely to play one of only 2 or 3 songs?

As you ponder that question, check out this episode of The Energy Detox which will challenge you to expand your “leadership playlist” and look for opportunities to be a differentiated—and, in turn, a more effective—leader.
